WELCOME TO THE SHEPHERD’S CROOK

The Shepherd’s Crook nestles within its own stone circle in the charming village of Wincle, in the Dane Valley on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
Not overlooked and set well away from anything else, the hut offers a genuine get away from it all experience and a luxurious, romantic haven for two. It sleeps two, with an en suite shower room, a well equipped kitchen and a large double bed.
Bordered by a bluebell wood with its own rookery, there is an abundance of wildlife to see, and the views from the hut are stunning. There is a summerhouse to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sun go down, and a barbecue and fire pit to sit round later on.
